Feeblemind 1 #1 February 11, 2005 Well I am on my way did 2 AFF umps today with my instructor. At this point I am considering changing my log on here to Pototoe Chip Boy!! Wow If someone would have taped a martini tumbler to me they would have been perfectly shaken!! Anyway had alot of fun and learned alot. Doing my AFF progresion one on one with the instructor and video review after really helps. On the second jump I only chipped a little bit but I am still looking for the sweet spot. Canopy work was a blast (no I didn't stand up either, tried the second and went semi ass over band box) but laughed after. Anyway tomorrow is another day and were supposed to have blue Skys, I can't wait. Phil Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
